04The Adversis approach

Most product security and cybersecurity programs come from people who've never compromised an enterprise's critical assets or evaluated a vendor. We have.We know what passes, and what doesn't.

Our risk model comes from years of offensive operations and understanding what attackers actually exploit, how they chain findings together, where the cheap wins are. Pattern recognition from dozens of complex engagements inside enterprise environments.

Not simply frameworks. Not just checklists. Accumulated intelligence about what actually leads to compromise, and what doesn't. It's why we can tell you what to invest in and, just as importantly, what to skip.

    Close

    We fill the gaps that actually block deals: architecture, policies, controls, evidence.

  3. 03

    Equip

    You walk into security reviews with answers and evidence that holds up.

09FAQ

We've worked with dozens of SaaS teams navigating enterprise security. Here's what usually comes up.

  • Mostly B2B SaaS companies, typically Series A or B, with a small security team or none at all. The common thread: enterprise buyers are asking hard security questions, and the team needs help answering them.

  • Keep using them. They're great at automating evidence collection and getting you through your SOC 2 audit. We pick up where they stop: the live security call with your prospect's team, the custom questionnaire questions that fall outside your audit scope, and pen testing that holds up when a buyer's security team actually reads the report. Instead of your CTO spending weeks figuring out what enterprise buyers expect and how to talk about your security posture, you hand it to us. Compliance platforms get you the certificate. We get you through the security review.

  • Yes. But we'll probably ask what's driving the need, because a pen test is often part of a bigger picture (a deal in motion, a compliance requirement, a buyer's security review). If you genuinely just need a clean report, we can do that, validation and retesting included. If there's more to untangle, we'll tell you.

  • Yes, and we can get on calls with your buyer's security team when needed. We've been on the other side of those calls, running vendor evaluations. We know what they're actually trying to learn and how to answer in a way that builds confidence. We've also been on both sides of a breach and can justify when controls make a difference.

  • Most engagements kick off within 2-3 weeks. If you have a deal on the line and need to move faster, tell us. We'll see what we can do.

  • Both. Some clients need a pen test or SOC 2 sprint and we're done. Others want a retained advisor they can pull in for security reviews, architecture questions, or board prep. We structure it around what you actually need.

  • It depends on scope, but most companies spend less on a full engagement than they lose in delays. A pen test or gap analysis starts in the low five figures. A broader security story or compliance push scales from there based on what you actually need.

  • That's most of our clients. We act as your security bench: fractional expertise you can tap without hiring a full team. When you're ready to build internally, we can help with that transition too.

Whether it's a questionnaire, a certification, or a pen test, we'll scope what you actually need.
